Tom Peterson - Why Is My Bed Empty Tonight Lyrics

He lays alone, reflects on life
He lays alone, thinkin' 'bout mistakes he's made
He lays alone, and wonders why
He can't find true love no matter how long he waits
She lays there on that forgotten night
She lays there, wonderin' what she's done wrong
She lays there and wonders why
She can't be happy when she's looked so long

Why is my bed empty tonight
Why is it empty when you should be laying here
Why is my bed empty tonight

He reaches out into space
He reaches out to connect anyone
He reaches out thinkin' it's a waste
Of time, to reach that special one
She answered just on a whim
She answered, not knowin' what to expect
She answered and she found him
Both tried to hide it, but said this in their head

Why is my bed empty tonight
Why is it empty when you should be laying here
Why is my bed empty tonight

Every night keeps longer waitin' for that day
Countin' down to use that ticket, and be on her way

3 years into an 8 hour flight
3 years of wonderin' what his touch feels like
3 years after they first said hi
3 years of waiting for that love at first sight
Fumbled first kiss, long car ride
Giggling stares and hands held tight
Anxiously waiting for that moment tonight
She pats the mattress and sings this song

Why is my bed empty tonight
Why is it empty when you should be laying here
Why is my bed empty tonight
Why is my bed empty tonight
Why is it empty when you should be laying here
Why is my bed empty tonight
Why is my bed empty tonight/Every night keeps longer
Why is it empty when you should be laying here/Waitin' for that day
Why is my bed empty tonight/Countin' down to use that ticket, and be on her way
